This is not a popular idiom at all,
(in fact I've probably only heard it a hand full of times).
I was reading the other day when I came across it
and I thought it was rather unusual.
CURRY FAVOR
v. To flatter someone to get their help/friendship.
Joe tried to curry favor with the new girl in class
by telling her she was the prettiest.
(He tried to make her like him.)
But I wondered why we use the word "CURRY"
so I looked it up but could not find a good answer.
Hmmm... just one of those mysteries I guess.
